I was 81 as of September, 2017, & am healthy and still with unimpaired mind and memory, untroubled by beliefs I once held and investigated until they collapsed, so that wider and deeper understanding took their place. It is liberating to defend the facts and truth that have been made known to me. [I was for many years the national leader of Sai Baba's organization in Norway] I have a duty to aid those who Sai Baba deceived as I once promoted him. Many have contacted me for advice.

Lord Rama in court action

Once again the rule of mythology over the Indian mind is on show, and the strangest parody of vaudeville dimensions was played out in a court.

They live in the delusion spread by the highly fanciful Ramayana epic and this is so widespread, also among many otherwise well-educated Indians, that the injustice is felt as of real influence on Hindus, who as all know treat women very largely as second class citizens (widows as third class and Dalit women as lacking any class whatever).

The utmost gullibility of so many Indians was shown when the government had to drop plans of dredging a channel for shipping between India and Sri Lanka because it would destroy the bridge built by monkey-god, Hanuman, but archaeologists know that it is a natural formation of sand and stones. The famous author R.K. Narayan commented on the ubiquity of blind belief in the following:-

Sita was disrespected and mistreated for sure. The proof is in the literature in numerous quotes. He should file against not Rama, but the author of the epic, Valmiki! Surely no one will deny his existence?
